Thanks gentlemen, The smile says it all i believe. Mr. Ayling - I look forward to it!

Howard Cooke , comedy gold that is all. Do you recommend practicing in a room actually wide enough to swing a cat, or do you think the broom cupboard makes a more apt stage for practicing? :confused:

The only people that bring the circus down are the people discussing it on here, not the guy in the picture. The only people capable of identifying "that spot" are the ones who have already been there - presumably already fishing it, if they can comment on the average size of fish caught there...

Thus ensues the edgy topic of barbel tubes, keepnet's and the every faithful onion sack.:eek: Is the solution just not to take your phone with you? Along the lines of this topic: Does anyone know where I can find one of the old fox specimen tubes - rectangular in design zip along the...

Six of one half a dozen of other until we bear witness to the footage of it at 12 ;) - The BFW team do a damn fine job anyway, its too much to ask for them to do an extensive vetting process for something relatively unimportant. To compound what Andy had to say I have had a mate catch a fish at...

Lawrence would you mind sending me some photos of the smaller rod perhaps? much appreciated

No im not a mod but im entitled to my own opinion on whats going on, just as you are, apologies please feel free to continue to hijack a thread by bickering about pike. I was actually entertained by the topic of paste cage manufacture. but Hey what do I know.

Frankly just shut up the pair of you. paste cages. get back to discussing them if you have something to settle do it by PM.

Pm for you/

Correcting someones spelling should only be used as a last resort, even if you are just joshing. Shows a lack of imagination.

I may be wrong but when I purchased my Kelly kettle the gentlemen who I spoke to was not only very helpful but was also apparently the son of the original Kelly who designed it. As already mentioned would be nice to support a genuine bit of heritage.

Ray is indeed right, had a seminar with people from Thames Water and the E.A. the E.A. grant them to dump this sewage untreated, but guess what they are also the body responsible for fining them for the damage done. However if Thames Water tell them about the incident straight away it counts as...

I don't think at any point I have said I wasn't worried about what was going on? Evidently Dave you are quite worried, quite worried indeed. I'm truly amazed at that last outburst which to me bearing in mind this is only my "opinion" verges on racism. I had thought a little more of you and your...

I think both responses miss the point of my comment completely, it's not the Japanese Chinese starving fat rich poor people im making a point out of - the blame lies solely with the people making the money out of catching and selling these things who most likely are British or live within...

I don't think the Japanese or the Chinese are the ones to blame - after all its us netting them and selling them for a significant amount of money. Plus glass eels are extremely extremely popular in Europe - you will see them on the fish counter in Spain or France, and to cut the Anguilla...

Maybe the Council and (Taxpayers?) need educating? Rather than the EA being targeted. Additionally as mentioned they don't get paid if they don't cut weed, ecological ethics is all very well, but they are usually sacrificed by everyone once putting food on the table is concerned. However I...

Cheers Dave! As you have stated the dia. is vital in determining whats reasonable, personally I couldn't see the benefit to having to use 20lb X-line at a larger dia. compared to a mono of far smaller diameter but greater breaking strength, personally. Thanks for the pointers.

Wow! Thats pretty staggering how poorly it performes under testing - cheers for pointing that out. :eek:

Surely you will only know once you have hooked and tamed that beast 18 pounder and it lies prostrate on the bank for the glory shots :D

Nothing Stephen. No one is suggesting there is anything 'Wrong' with catching very little or nothing. All that has been deduced is that some anglers catch a larger proportion of fish than others. Not whether or not they were 'wrong' in doing so.
